Scribblenauts is an emergent puzzle action game developed by 5th Cell and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Scribblenauts Showdown
Scribblenauts Showdown was leaked back in December and now we finally have a game description
This is a party/puzzle-platformer game in which players engage in a variety of tasks and mini-games using a selection of words/actions/modifiers/characters. Mini-games include fishing, racing, and using drones to deliver items. Players can type in random nouns and adjectives to create different word combinations that trigger comical scenarios. Some games/tasks prompt players to use “cartoony” weapons (e.g., bazookas, bombs, swords) to deplete the health meters of other characters. Characters can also eat/bite other characters when prompted by a modifying word/trait. A handful of areas contain enemy characters (i.e., skeleton warriors) that will attack players if approached. During an eating-contest mini-game, players’ character may vomit if they consume too much food without swallowing; a comical “gagging” sound effect is heard, as well as brightly-colored green vomit.
For now, there is only a single image related to the game, which came out back with the leak
Release Date
So far there is no mention of a release date, but getting a detailed description of the game means that more information will follow shortly, a reveal trailer and more screenshots. While there is no PC version mentioned on ESRB, it’s almost safe to assume that a PC port will be imminent due to previous Scribblenauts games having Steam releases as well. The Nintendo Switch is getting more and more titles and maybe older games of the series might be ported as a collected edition?
